Broadband Price Comparison in Pakistan
4
Okay, I won’t sound like I am doing a review here. We, me and Sibtain, put our heads together to do something in what we believed existed a lot of potential – a Broadband Price Comparison website for the Pakistan market. So it is a little start-up of ours that we expect will serve a gap called SmartChoice.Pk – helping people make informed buying decisions.
We are offering the followings tools and services for consumers:
- Broadband Package details from all Broadband Providers in Pakistan
- Broadband guide, helping people understand how Broadband connections are sold and how they should ideally be making their choices
- Internet Speed Test Tool, to let them know where they stand right now
- Broadband Provider reviews from users
- Custom User Dashboard to manage your reviews and saved packages
- Broadband blog
The idea? Help them make informed decisions in high-involvement purchasing (which includes Broadband).
The Business Model? Well, not everything can be made public but it is more like earning on broadband referrals and advertising.
The portal offers broadband providers the right audience for online advertising and targeting precisely those looking to either switch their current provider and also for new buyers.
We believe that this initiative will help the overall broadband industry grow with our focus on spreading knowledge and the advantages of broadband – it is not that expensive any more in our country.
So whatever segment you find yourself in, a consumer or a provider, please feel free to navigate yourself – right away – to SmartChoice.Pk!

Recently, Mobilink has come up with its WiMAX brand ‘Infinity” and now it looks like the competition will soon elevate with Wi-tribe and TeleCard entering the WiMAX service race in Pakistan, the only country in the world having a nationwide commercial deployment of WiMAX services.
Wi-tribe is a joint venture of Qatar Telecom (Qtel) and A.A. Turki Corporation for Trading and Contracting (ATCO) in partnership with Clearwire. Wi-tribe is already offering services in Jordan and in Pakistan it has emerged out of the acquisition of majority stake in Burraq Telecom that occurred more than a year ago. They plan to showcase the real world benefits of Wireless Broadband to Internet community in Pakistan. (more…)

It’s raging on, the broadband evolution in Pakistan, especially wireless. With Wateen launching the world’s first country-wide deployment of WiMAX last year, an upcoming WiMAX boom was strongly felt in Pakistan.
And here we are, with Mobilink in line with their wireless broadband offering based on WiMAX. Also, PTCL’s smart tv has been launched this August. I will also be giving you a sneak into the soft-launch of WorldCall’s EVDO.
